Assunta Di Quinzio
(nee Matricardi)
October 10, 1930 – August 1, 2018
It is with great sadness that we announce that our mother Assunta Di Quinzio passed away on Wednesday August 1, 2018. She was born in 1930 in Francavilla Al Mare Italy to Rocco and Maria Pia Matricardi, and was the youngest of three brothers and four sisters.
Assunta spent up until 1965 in Italy where she did some odd jobs cleaning homes. In 1965 Assunta moved to Canada where she resided in Winnipeg for the remainder of her life. She worked at Sport Easy Fashion for over 20 years as a seamstress. She made many long term friends there.
She was an amazing lady full of life, and a completely unselfish person. She always put the needs of others before her own right up to the end of her life. Her passion to please family and friends through her amazing cooking made her a very happy person. Assunta had such a deep love for all her grandchildren. She was always so concerned about making sure she did the right thing on all their birthdays and special events. Mom also had a deep love for gardening, her tomatoes, cucumbers, hot peppers and beans always grew beautifully…must have been the love and attention she gave them. Mom and Dad also had a deep passion for making a great tasting wine..no preservatives, just natural. Mom loved to spend her younger days at Oasis beach Kenora with her dear friends.
Assunta was predeceased by her husband Franco Di Quinzio in 2014, and her parents and all her sisters and brothers. Mom will be sadly missed and leaves behind her son John (Karen) Di Quinzio, daughter Lucy (Kevin) Mulligan along with her grandchildren Cliff and Steven Otte, Trevor and Hailey Mulligan, Katie, Stephanie Di Quinzio, and great grandson Logan Otte.
